What's in a name? shared, web, self and VPS hosting
« on: May 30, 2018, 06:59:08 AM »
Hi,

I guess this is the most appropriate place to ask.
What is the difference between the types of hosting?
My Hostgator account is called web hosting, but isn't this more correctly referred to as shared-hosting?
I have moved a first site from Hostgator to my Linode. Is this site now self-hosted ? However, managing your own Wordpress blog on a shared hosting account is also called self-hosting.
What do you tell other people? "I am now self-hosting my websites", or "My websites are on my VPS"?

Please help.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
